    getting sick of this show now, started listening about a year ago and thought it was great, they miss Ivan but chris has done a pretty good job.

    Just listening to them now.. Chris seems to be like a school kid on his best behaviour, his personality has completely changed since Ivan left... No banter, no fun.. She doesnt shut up about her kids.

    His Ts really start to grate on me as well.

    Is there any chance that Casey will ever let someone answer a question. This morning when discussing the Shortall resignation she interrupted the person answering her question four times. Got so fed up I switched over, she is dreadful so far.

    I listen to the radio a lot when travelling to work. Chris on Newstalk irritates me with the amount of time he takes telling listeners about the time and when the news, business etc. is coming up-I'd say he takes about ten minutes every day on this! He also loves the word "so".

    Its the same script every day, do they realise that they are now on a treadmill? If this were radio drama I'd condemn the quality of their dialogue.

    They have about a dozen lines and just keep repeating them.

    Ended up turning to BBC radio 4 again.

    Been listening to more of the breakfast show in last few weeks than I would previously have done, and am hearing it earlier in the morning too. I've come to the conclusion that Norah Casey is awful, Chris O'Donoghue is bearable (just) and I quite like Shane Coleman.

    It's a mess of a show though, going downhill big-time in my books...

    Listened to decent (length of time wise) section of show past few days, had only caught snippets past few weeks.
    Found it very poor. Nor sure why Chris refers to Norah as "Casey" - i imagine its meant to sound pally, sounds a bit silly.
    Main tactic seems to be ask a question and interupt answer almost immediately.

    I would guess show has lost listeners since Ivan left.

    How about a cranky Hookie in the morning???
